This coming weekend I am heading to Chicago to screen a "work-in-progress" science documentary about cold fusion called "The Believers". Cold fusion is one of those topics that elicits strong words and sentiments...
It's always a pleasure to come across a series of videos that deal with a subset of science that is told well, produced well and have a continuity that viewers can expect.I was paying my "blog calls" to people attending Science Online 2012 and came across Yale's website and found Ainissa Ramirez, a (now former) Associate Professor of Materials Science there...
Take a look at what some clever American teens have come up with as an idea for an experiment on the International Space Station! The 60 global finalists for the YouTube.c..
This post is being written as I am sitting here at Science Online 2012. Along with Jim Hutchins and Rob Nelson, I ran a workshop about making science videos.
Carin and I will soon be at Science Online 2012. As I mentioned last post, we both will be running workshops on video-making and will be your hosts for the Cyberscreen Science Film Festival 2012.The Keynote speaker this year is National Geographic Host and Primatologist, Mireya Mayor...
Soon, Carin and I will be attending Science Online 2012 in Raleigh, NC. We will both be running workshops with co-hosts on creating videos.
In October, I shared the Quantum Levitation video that was making its rounds on the internet. Today, I share with you something of a world tour of quantum levitation videos!
Before we talk TV, I wanted to let everyone know I am paying "blog calls" to each Science Online 2012 attendee. You can follow along which posts I've read and the shoutout I give on my twitter stream...
This is the time of year many of us instinctively turn toward heart-warming movies and TV shows. If you are one of those people, I have the perfect nature show for you.
Today's Monday Music Video is not a music video per se , but instead features three songs from a soundtrack to an excellent movie about the Apollo missions.Evoking a sense of weightlessness and other-worldliness is an intuitive goal for most music on videos, movies, and TV programs featuring space and space travel...
Stephen Colbert is a smart science fan and often features great science book authors and scientists on his show, The Colbert Report. I also appreciate his funny takes on scientific topics such as tissue engineered meat, the LHC and more!Astrophysicist Neil DeGrasse Tyson has appeared on The Colbert Report six times...
In the vein of great science music videos created for biotech companies (see my post here and here, with more to come in future posts), a new video, with a very enjoyable tune and extreme familiarity with biotech lab work has emerged from Life Technologies.This video follows new biotech PhD candidate, Arnold Young (aka the Ph.Diddy)...
Have you ever thought that you had a great idea for an experiment to be done in space? Maybe you've hoped your idea could have an audience with Stephen Hawking and astronauts and other luminaries!...
Video is everywhere, and it turns out that the book publishing industry and authors know to get readers, they simply must have a video of some sort out there!There are several different ways to promote a science book on video...
There is a fascination with famous scientists (for example, see today's Google doodle about Marie Curie), and they come no more iconic than Albert Einstein.
Not too long ago, a friend introduced me to the most adorable viral video ever! My life has not been the same since. Take a look! Since then, my computer wallpaper has been sloths, my avatars in many places are also those absolutely charming creatures as well...
This video demonstrating the power of superconductivity has been making the rounds this week and is an example of how video is really the best way to capture and share with thousands of viewers the amazing power of science!You will notice that the video is a demonstration without the science explained live...
If you all didn't know, my co-host, Carin, had her lovely new addition to her family! Check out Juna Soleil and leave a warm congratulatory message below!Two weeks ago, I featured an amusing video with a boy band singing about automatic pipettors...
Ada Lovelace Day allows us an opportunity to highlight the work of women in science.Today I'd like you to meet a pioneer in the field of bioinformatics, Margaret Dayhoff, a visionary who: created the first computer program to analyze molecular data created the single letter amino acid abbreviation developed the first public molecular database revolutionized the field of evolutionary classification by using mathematical matrices to examine protein similarities...
How I wish I had a wonderful science Nobel Prize music video in honor of today's announcement of the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology. Instead, I will feature a video about a piece of equipment that might be useful for those who do a lot of molecular biology, including those trying to understand the immune system, as this year's winners have done.Today's video is an advertisement...
